Psychotherapy Network

A little introduction

Sometimes you need help and can't manage by yourself. Sometimes you need objective, compassionate, and professional advice that will help you gain insight and courage to make changes to live a whole and rewarding life. Sometimes you need to be reminded that you are a wonderful, unique person with gifts and talents yet to be realized. I aim to help you find fulfillment, purpose, and a meaningful connection to the world around you. I treat anxiety, depression, behavioural and conduct disorders. I offer specialized treatment for trauma, whether from childhood, the workplace, the military, or in First Responders.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 25 years. I graduated from Capella University with a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology. I am a registered psychotherapist with the Ontario College of Psychotherapists.

I am an NIHB provider with Indigenous Affairs Canada and a provider with Veterans Affairs Canada for over 15 years.

I am a passionate and compassionate professional, driven by the mission of helping more people live a better and happier life every day with their mental and emotional problems, such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, learning Disorders, ADHD, Physical and Sexual abuse. The good news is that there are proven methods to significantly reduce or get rid of these and other disorders, symptoms of PTSD. Therapy that combines relaxation and other treatment modalities can help clients to regain a sense of self. Research shows that from a relaxed state, it is possible to retrain our brain, so it responds appropriately to triggers. This can allow us to become more grounded in present reality, leaving the past behind.

I use an Integrative approach, tailored to everyone’s unique psychological needs, with my clinical expertise and a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities. These include CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, mindfulness, interpersonal therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and solution-focused therapy. I also like to help my clients understand from a scientific perspective just what is going on in their brain-feelings-body in simple terms so that as they learn/practice coping skills that help them to make sense of the reasons they got stuck in the first place - and gain insight into learning/growing from their past pain.
